Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 35: Revenge Must Be Repaid and Favor Must Be Repaid
after a long time
Li Guoqiang set several small goals on the big rock with great enthusiasm.

Qin Jingru's face was as red as a monkey's butt, and it was unclear whether it was because of the cold or the heat.

Then, she packed up simply, didn't even dare to look at Li Guoqiang, and turned around and ran away.

Li Guoqiang felt amused when he saw Qin Jingru's guilty look.

Then, without staying for long, he immediately walked away in another direction.

Although his actions may seem a little ungenerous and unkind to some people.

However, he has never considered himself to be a purely good person. He is just a vulgar person who will avenge his enemies and repay his kindness, who only recognizes relatives but not reason, who will not bully others actively, nor allow others to bully him.

What's more, if he went to pity Qin Jingru, who would pity him?
You know, this matter was just a matter of time, just a little bit and he would have to go in and operate the sewing machine!

If there are people who really think that he shouldn't do this, then he can only answer with an ancient saying: If you don't share the same ideals, you can't work together!

Not long after, Li Guoqiang returned to his home. He did not see Qin Jingru on the way. He didn't know whether the young aunt went to take a bath to destroy the evidence or ran away secretly.

Then, just as he was about to push the door open and enter the house, he saw someone open the door and walk out of the house.

"Hey! Qiangzi, you're back!"

"Qiangzi, we have all heard about what happened today. I'm so sorry! Your aunts and the others are just ignorant women. They didn't stand up to speak for your family the first time. Please don't take it to heart!"

"That's right! Qiangzi, we have been neighbors for decades, and we should help each other no matter what happens. Today, the wives of our two families were not very kind, so please don't mind it!"

Li Guoqiang looked at the two neighbors who lived in the South Courtyard in front of him, and then looked at Li Dawei who followed him out of the house. He waved his hands hurriedly, smiled and said in a friendly manner: "No, no, Uncle Guangliang, Uncle Xinchang, you are too polite!"

"We have been neighbors for decades and we all know each other. If you hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't have thought about it at all!"

"You know I'm going to the countryside in a few days, so I'll have to trouble you two to help look after my parents!"

"Okay, okay. If your family needs any help in the future, just let us know!"

"That's right. There are only three families in the South Courtyard. We must help each other. Otherwise, people in other courtyards will laugh at us!"

Hearing Li Guoqiang's words, Dai Guangliang and Deng Xinchang instantly felt relieved, then hurriedly smiled, nodded and agreed.

Logically speaking, as elders, there was no need for them to be so polite to Li Guoqiang. However, when they learned that Li Guoqiang had said those cruel words about exchanging his life for another's in front of everyone in the courtyard, they couldn't help but take Li Guoqiang, who usually looked sick, seriously. At the same time, they were also worried that Li Guoqiang would hold a grudge against their family because their daughter-in-law didn't help and say a word.

In addition, as they just said, there are only three families in this South Courtyard. Now that such a serious thing has happened, it is reasonable for them to come and explain.

After the conversation was over, Li Guoqiang did not respond further but just agreed with a few words.

Seeing this, Dai Guangliang and Deng Xinchang had no intention of continuing to chat with the junior Li Guoqiang, and immediately turned around to greet Li Dawei, then turned around and left together.

Li Dawei looked at their backs, then sighed softly and said, "Xiao Qiang, don't blame them. The oldest of their two children is only twelve years old, and they all work in the steel mill. The whole family depends on their salary, so their wives really dare not offend Xu Damao." Hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded hurriedly and said, "Dad, don't worry! I can still understand this truth!"

"Well, that's good if you understand!"

Li Dawei smiled with some relief, then looked up at the sky which was gradually darkening. Then, no one knew what he was thinking of, but he suddenly shook his head and let out a sigh.

"Alas! What a world this is!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

Not long after, Yao Meilan, Luo Huijuan, and Li Guofu all returned home from get off work one after another. As soon as Yao Meilan came back, she announced the good news, saying that the old man had agreed to move in with them, and even took the initiative to request that the moving date be set the day before Li Guoqiang went to the countryside.

In addition, Yao Meilan also told Li Guoqiang that the old man asked him to visit him when he was free in the next two days, saying that he had something to tell him.

Li Guoqiang didn't think much about it and just nodded and agreed.

Afterwards, Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan went to the kitchen to cook as usual. When Li Guoqiang saw that the time was almost up, he immediately greeted Li Dawei and took Li Guofu to Xu Damao's house in the backyard.

When he reached the door, he didn't say hello, but pushed it open and walked into the house.

At this time, Xu Damao had just returned from outside and was reeking of alcohol, as if he had attended some social event.

Qin Jingru was sitting next to them, constantly questioning Xu Damao why he wanted to frame the Li family, which made Xu Damao look annoyed and angry.

Just when Xu Damao wanted to vent his anger on Qin Jingru, he suddenly saw Li Guoqiang and Li Guofu rushing in one after another, instantly scaring him and Qin Jingru.

"What do you guys want to do?"

"Xu Damao, you are not trying to play dumb with me, are you? Didn't you tell me to come to your house tonight to ask for compensation? Now give me two hundred yuan, and we'll call it a day!"

Li Guoqiang didn't plan to waste time talking to Xu Damao at this time, and directly quoted the price.

"Two hundred yuan? That's too little! Well, in addition to the two hundred yuan, I'll give you a bottle of Moutai as a token of my appreciation to your family!"

When Xu Damao heard that Li Guoqiang wanted two hundred yuan, he was about to bargain but was frightened by Li Guoqiang's cold eyes and changed his mind temporarily. In order to satisfy Li Guoqiang, he even took the initiative to add a bottle of good wine.

"No, we can't afford such good wine. You just need to compensate us two hundred yuan. In addition, you have to write me an interest-free IOU. This money is considered as a loan from you, but I will pay it back in fifty years!"

Li Guoqiang rejected Xu Damao's intentions without a second thought, and in order to prevent anyone from making trouble with the money in the future, he also asked Xu Damao to write a promissory note to completely shut everyone up.

When Xu Damao heard Li Guoqiang's request, the smile on his face froze instantly. At the same time, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes when he looked at Li Guoqiang. It seemed that he did not expect Li Guoqiang to be so cautious and could even think of a trap that most people would not think of in advance.
